great pics!

What is it with all the need to clarify how long you been huntin' and the number of birds.

Any bird, whether number 1 or 100, is a great one. Some guys seem to have low self-esteem and like to question numbers.

Enjoy them all! Love those pics!

As for those who have smarter birds who know how to read maps and choose to live in public areas

:D:Dsorry,couldn't resist :D:D[8D]

I've taken more birds than these...I like to tell how long I've been hunting and state that it was a hard road,not because I amashamed,but because I am proud of the long hard road,and from not being good at all to being to the point where I can help others.BTW all 12 of my birds came from public land.:D

Before and after pics of a couple of birds I called in for my dadlast year. I was running the camera on both of them. I get excited when I'm behind the gun but when you are working a bird for someone else it's unreal how pumped you get for them. It's almost better than shooting it yourself. The 1st bird is my dad's second bird ever and his 1st bird in almost 40yrs. The 2nd is his 3rd bird shot the very next weekend. If you look close you can see the wading in the air and hitting the 2nd bird(see yellow arrow).1st bird 9 1/2" beard, 3/4" spurs, 18lbs. 2nd 10 1/2" rope and 1 1/2" hooks, 24lbs.This will be my 14th year turkey hunting. Good luck to everyone!
